Rosalind will present to the Faculty & Staff on Courageous Discomfort: Having Brave, Life Changing Conversations

Courageous Discomfort acknowledges the challenges of breaking through our hesitancy, frustration, and fear around issues of diversity and inclusion by grounding our thinking and actions in dignity—the belief that everyone has the right to be recognized for their inherent worth.

Rosalind Wiseman is partnering with Warren Woods School district to support educators’ skills in in their common yet often complex interactions with their students. From the classroom to the hallway, educators are tasked with teaching moments that can often become power struggles and disconnection. This training will build on educators and staff skills to manage difficult conversations around belonging and inclusion and connect these topics to academic engagement.

Topics covered:

• Managing emotions in complex interactions with studens

• Recognizing the difference between a curious question and a question that intensifies conflict

• Demonstrating the connection between emotional regulation, emotional hijacking, and boundaries with building a sense of belonging in the classroom and individual students
